This sketch entitled “The Attorneys” was twenty-three minutes long on the full stage.
The setting is an overcrowded library in which all of the furniture is musical instruments. The act opens as a sketch and evolves into a musical. The company plays songs on the “furniture”, the best of which was a hidden pipe organ. They do a xylophone number for the finish. Weston also does some German comedy. The company is listed as Franklin Mae, Max L. Hoen, Clint Harsin, Rught Verin, and Fred Varin.
The finale drags on for too long, but the act will do well in a early spot on big time bills. The musical apparatus would also be a novelty on the small big time.
